US K3 Marriage Visa for Thai

If you are married to a Thai and have registered your marriage in Thailand then you can apply for a US Spouse visa in Thailand. The Thai spouse of a US citizen can go to the US to live with her American spouse through the K3 Marriage Visa. Once the K3 visa is obtained, the foreign spouse is entitled to a 2-year multiple entry stay in the US.

After two years she will be conferred a green status allowing her to stay in the US permanently provided of course that she meets the US immigration requirements.

There are a number of other options available such as a CR1 visa or an IR1 visa from Thailand for the US. They take a bit longer to obtain however they require less applications later once in the US. Your wife will also be able to work when she gets off the plane in the US. Speak to an immigration lawyer in Phuket for more details as to the options. The K3 Visa takes 6-9 months to complete.

The K3 Visa process involves two steps:

Filing of the USCIS petition – The American spouse should start the process by filing a petition to the USCIS stating your desire to bring your Thai spouse to the United States. The USCIS will usually take a few months to process the petition. Once the petition has been approved, the petitioner (you) are notified along with the National Visa center who in turn notifies the US embassy in Bangkok.

Interview at the US Embassy in Bangkok – The US embassy in Bangkok will be contacting the foreign spouse (Thai wife) to advise her about the which documents are expected from her, submission of these documents and an interview with the US visa officer at the embassy in Bangkok. Upon the successful submission of the required documents and the interview, the visa is granted on the same day or if not the applicant will be asked to come back the next day to pick up her visa. If you have children then speak to an attorney about the visa for the child(ren).
